    Currently learning the guitar. I really appreciate that these are super beginner friendly and easy to learn. I feel like most lessons aren’t so easy for beginners. The D chord is actually really hard for me and it never sounds right, but I’m sure with more practice I’ll get it down.

    • @itsmorphed6416
      @itsmorphed6416 Год назад +3

      D was the first chord I learned. Then A and E . Then e minor , a minor . Then the dreaded c major , F Magor and G . Cool . You will be polishing these chords for quite a long time but can grasp them quickly with practice.

    When my father brought home my first guitar more than 55 years ago and when I picked up the banjo 35 years ago there was no Internet or RUclips to provide a platform for such kind and generous people such as yourself and many others here on RUclips.
    I'd just like to say thank you for all that you do here for the newer people that want to learn to play the guitar. Your generosity and kindness is simply outstanding, and your gift of the talent that you have, and passing it on to newcomers, will see many new people learn to play.
    THANK YOU!!

    I started on November 12th, and have played almost every day since. I can now play full songs, like "Sun to Me" "Something in the Orange" "Revival" and "Burn, Burn, Burn" by Zach Bryan. I can play some Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson, and more.
    This isn't about me and what I can play, this is about motivating you to keep going, and keep practicing. It might seem you'll never get there, but I promise you will. It just takes some dedication and a lot of will. You got this!!!

    Andy, there is just one word for your courses: Fantastic! I am 57 next month. I have always wanted to play the guitar but never found a good course or someone to explain it to me as simple and clearly as you do. I can never thank you enough for this. Never had lessons before, never played a tune before. I played 2 chords one after another today. My fingertips are in agony but I do not care, because my heart and soul are over the moon. I will follow all your courses. And if there are people out there thinking it is too late for them, tell them about me. Even if I cannot play a proper song yet, now you made me believe that soon I will. Cheers mate.

To me it looks like u put it on the first but u said second string and for me it's too low when I pluck that one vs if I put my finger on the first string and then pluck other than that this is an awesome tutorial.

    I've played the guitar for many years. Took lessons online, private and on my own with books/Cds. Never got confident in my own playing. If you buy this guys's books and use most of the online content he provides you will get confident in your playing skills. HIs sample songs are fun. I was taught by a hyperactive bluegrass teacher and tha't;s all he focused on, so that was all I could play forever was bluegrass. Andy has a variety of music to practice. Never thought I'd be playing Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, Buffalo Springfield, Beatles. It's good to open up your vision and mission. He's got some country music on here too, Johnny Cash, etc.

I practice almost every day for as long as my fingers can take it, usually an hour or two, sometimes two or three times a day. Each time I practice, I start with his first lessen, and finish on his fifth lessen. Andys Awesome. Keep Practicing 🎸🎸🎸, we'll all get there. PS., I do rest my finger at times, meaning I 'll go two, somtimes three days without practicing. It does help the fingers.

    I went from racing mountain bikes, to doing track days on my motorcycle, to Astrophotography because of health issues. Now I'm going to take up guitar because all that physical stuff has become impossible. I'm hoping to learn and practice guitar in the hours of down time imaging the universe.
    Thank you for helping us learn!!!

    Well, you are officially my favorite internet teacher, Andy. I'm 52. Bought my first guitar 10 days ago. Loads of online teachers who showed me which strings to play, but no one else showed me how to put my fingers ON the strings. Found you a few days ago, and now I can, with the help of a metronome, change between E, A and D with enough accuracy to make me feel proud of myself.
    The accent doesn't hurt either. I'm in California. Please send HobNobs. ❤
